Cos,Sin,Tan - Math Problem With Directions

Hello,

Im having some trouble trying to work out some sin,cos,tan work.

Im basically trying to get an object to be 1 meter infront of the player and have the object facing the player. My problem is of course, when you turn to face a different direction ( 10, 65, 123 degrees, etc ) the object does not turn and face the player.

I know this is going to be a simple math function but I cannot for the life of me find it.

Any help would be appreciate.

I have included an image below, so you can see.

The campfire is always facing the player, but also 1 meter away, no matter what direction the player faces.

PS: Im fine with creating the object and setpos'ing it, just getting the correct trig direction.

modelToWorld - a savior for the lazy folk :p

attachTo would work even better.

which are you having the issue with? putting the object 1 meter infront or facing the player?

fire setpos [(getpos player 0) + ((1)*sin(getdir player )), (getpos player select 1) + ((1)*cos(getdir player))];
fire setdir (getdir player) - 180
fire setpos (getpos fire)

Thanks for the help both of you, that was exactly what I needed :)

Much appreciated.
